I got the money rolled up from a post on Pinterest a couple of years ago.
These are half pint jars that I got at Hobby Lobby on sale for 1$ each. There is 25$ rolled up like diplomas in 1 $ bills. I tied the dollar bills with retired bakers twine. The school colors are black and teal and I found these fun tassels at hobby lobby too. Here are some instructions on how I made these adorable gifts.
1. I measured around the jar and found that they were approximately 10.5 inches. I also measured the diameter of the lid which was 3 inches.
2. I cut one strip of 3/4 “ x 11.5” basic black for the band around the lid. Using the Layering Circles Framelits, I found that the 2nd largest smooth circle fit perfect and cut out a circle of Basic Black Cardstock.
3. Using tear n tape, I adhered the circle and the band to the jars.
4. Next I cut out a 4x4 inch square of Basic Black Cardstock. I punched a small hole in the center of the square and added the gold cord trim with tassel. I knotted the cord and taped it to the underside for reinforcement and then attached the cardstock using Tear n tape to the top of the jar.
5. I used the following stamp sets: Thoughtful Banners and Labeler Alphabet
6. Next I stamped one of the thoughtful banners in Momento Black ink and in Island Indigo stamped congrats in side the banner. Then using the Duet Banner punch, I punched the banner out. Then using the scotch tape I covered the uation part of the graduation stamp. Then I inked it in Momento black, next removed the scotch tape and stamped on Whisper White cardstock. Next using the Labeler Alphabet I stamped 2018 in Momento ink and then used a oval framelit to cut out the saying.
6. I cut out the 2nd smallest Stitched Oval framelit in Island Indigo, and ran it through the big shot. Next I adhered the white oval on to the Island Indigo oval.
7. Next I cut out a 1 inch by 11 inch strip of Basic Black cardstock and attached it to the jar using tear n tape. Then I adhered the ovals on to the black strip.
8. Then I used 2 foam dimensionals on the back of the banner and placed over the ovals on the jar.
